Display Browser Notifications from Web Application

Browser desktop notification system, using this you can push notifications for event reminders, message information like whatsapp to desktop users in realtime from your web project. Very few line of JavaScript code, that can help you to interact with browser notification system. I have implemented this for 9lessons.info, you will find a most popular article notification for every 3 minutes. Take a quick look a the live demo.

Display Browser Notifications from Web Application


Download Script     Live Demo

Note: Try this demo with Chrome and Firefox

Start Browser Notification
This code will initialize the browser notification system, read more about Vanilla JS(Plain JavaScript)
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function ()
{

if (Notification.permission !== "granted")
{
Notification.requestPermission();
}

});

Push Notification
This function will help you to push notification data, here you have to modify icon URL. You can pass title, description and URL values.
function notifyBrowser(title,desc,url)
{

if (Notification.permission !== "granted")
{
Notification.requestPermission();
}
else
{
var notification = new Notification(title, {
icon:'http://YourWebsite.com/logo.png',
body: desc,
});

/* Remove the notification from Notification Center when clicked.*/
notification.onclick = function () {
window.open(url);
};

/* Callback function when the notification is closed. */
notification.onclose = function () {
console.log('Notification closed');
};

}
}

      When I put the script in my php index file, I see an error on browser like "Notification.requestPermission(); not a function". But your browserNotifications.html works properly.

  23. This article is describing local notifications (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Notifications_API/Using_the_Notifications_API). Local notifications cannot be shown if if your site is not open.

    Push notifications are sent from background workers and can be displayed even if your users do not have your site open.
